The mysterious power of shadow magic makes pig house larger inside then outside. Well done Maxie

[@kaelentamayo7310]

Why is there a short mainly about walter while the skill tree is for willow and wigfrid?

[@AD00203]

To be honest it seemed more like an update to the pigs, as if they had more emotions and functions, but that's cool too, Merry Christmas!😊

[@ViCiOuS-V]

Wait, we're in 2024 already?

[@kleient]

@@kaelentamayo7310 More information about the choice for animated short will arrive when we publish the next roadmap. We tend to bleed into the next roadmap at the end of the year.

[@ToastyPal]

I love the implications that every pig house is much bigger than on the outside

[@Sofalando]

Just like in Hamlet! Them pigs are master illusionists.😂

[@TTastic-pb5nt]

I love that webber was sharing his cookies with wurt, and that when he thinks there's danger, he takes walter with him into the tent. He's such a sweetheart.

[@CoqueiroLendario]

Webber and Wurt's friendship is literally a delight to see every time, like i really enjoy how they made sure that the two monster characters became friends as they are both nice so it makes all sense!

[@SpikeForrestGaming]

He was probably (being) raised to be a kind person

[@pumpkin_pants3828]

​@@CoqueiroLendario theyre also both children which probably explains why wortox isnt part of their friendship

[@xxx_charles_xxx2162]

i don t think that thing is a hallucination... that is the first thing that came out of the maxwell s book during his show before the chaos....

[@deadlydingus1138]

I can accept this reality.

[@shrumalogre517]

ngl i hope this is somehow foreshadowing a walter skilltree where one of the skills makes enemies get distracted by petting woby

[@gorlheck5574]

We gotta see Wurt!!! And Webber pulling Walter away was so cute 😭

[@juliobacesar2388]

Webber just took the chance to hide with Wendy and Walter together

[@mooagain476]

Shadow watcher lore after all these years? Amazing video.

[@maurodiaz8989]

Shadow watcher??? Who is that 😮

[@shen8976]

@maurodiaz8989, It's that thin shadow creature that appears around light sources at night when the player's Sanity is slighly below average. It doesn't attack or do anything, just watches you. It also appears in The Final Act short for a brief frame

[@jakepeng9962]

Maybe the shadow watcher is woby's owner.

[@CoqueiroLendario]

IT LIKES WOBY, WRITE IT DOWN IN THE WIKI RIGHT NAOW!

[@raf3262]

Shadow Watcher is a dog person

[@veronicawexel1291]

I think this is my favourite one so far. It was a cool story, the expression of Wendy being bored to death by it was impactful and i can't even express how absolutely *adorable* it was to see the shadow pet Woby.

[@PunchPunchPunchPunch]

I'm not one for theories, but what if the shadow watcher is Woby's old owner? Given her reaction and scared nature, she probably wouldn't trust it if it was unknown.

[@amandamimic2725]

And sad to see her leaving, too. Like a dog told to stay home

[@KainRanker]

Логично

[@ricekrispies4994]

well since woby originates from the constant it isn’t too far *fetched* Also I like the idea of the shadow watcher having bigger lore implications considering we see it when people get pulled into the constant and the shadow hands are presumably from it too

[@HerOwnKnife]

I love wes so much, how he just makes a pantomimed box for himself, i can't

[@MortalAnonymous]

It's totally adorable. But also on the other hand it probly legit works considering his questionable powers. XD

[@andreyfurdick9425]

And the fact that pig didn't agnolage his presense. Definetly worked

[@diwang3845]

Klei should put that in Wes’s skill tree

[@munerahbr5085]

what I love the most about these animations is that you can pause at any frame and get a cool wallpaper

[@iLoveChaiTea42]

Same idea

[@creativestorm_2879]

2:35 Everyone’s talking about how cute Webber pulling away Walter from the “danger” is (as they should), but no one has mentioned how adorable (and funny) Wes pantomiming a box to hide behind is! Also I want to say that I love seeing the kids and Wes together! I’ve imagined them having campfire stories together almost exactly like this, and I love that there’s now an animated video of it! I can really see the thought and effort in this, and love all the little details!! This is definitely one, if not my favorite DST videos now!!! ❤ Please Klei, I’m begging you, make a DST show already!!!!

[@deadlydingus1138]

Woby eating out of Wes’s bowl of popcorn when he’s not looking is a nice touch.

[@chorizochomper7520]

2:30 Walter: ooooooh a new friend! :D Webber: YOU IDIOT IT WILL KILL YOU

[@Kaua1n3verd1es]

That's totally what it would be like

[@AufarZulmi]

Walter: ooooh a new friend :) Webber: COME ON MAN

[@unlikelyspecimen244]

That has to be the nicest pig ever, dude invited Walter in when the typical reaction is to file a restraining order when you breathe next to them

[@Drizzilenotreal]

everyone loves walter!!!

[@kuroyame973]

i love how when walter is telling the campfire story you can hear the beta laugh near when it pans up to the moon, such a cool detail. (for those who dont know in dont starve betas sometimes at night a random creepy laugh would play) (also it plays at about 0:07)

[@rader354]

I wish they added this laugh back.

[@codyamerman146]

I think that might be the laugh from the soldier in team fortress 2 which might be possible since there is an entire pyro character (from team fortress 2) in the code that they made just for fun

[@maninham1]

@@codyamerman146that is so wildly incorrect, but its interesting that you can hear something like that.

[@codyamerman146]

No. Netflix would ruin the series.

The pigman acted like a fine gentleman this animation is just so sweet I love it ❤❤

[@feilkate5892]

Makes sense, considering Hamlet DLC

[@pillot_]

plot twist: its actually banjo the business pig

[@curse8763]

And in-game they are just racist

[@FratoiuAlex]

I don't know. I am ok with pigs been friendly, but not like trusting someone without something to "pay" them. Maybe is just me trying to mix the animation and the gameplay. But I do wonder what the second pig doing outside and not a werepig because the full Moon is up

[@giannistselios8792]

@@pillot_ maybe but he didn't wear the top hat 🎩

[@broging_bread]

i cant believe how sweet Webber is, he was the only one to actually get Walter to hide in the tent, pretty much my favorite character of the cast

[@nitrumlegal7470]

Walter is really great, he knocked on the door instead of hamering the house down

[@missalrightisokay2101]

I like how Wendy is characterised here, despite all the depressing lines she says, deep down she still wants to live and will run away when she is off guard and in danger

[@diamondaurathewitch7124]

[@Glermz]

What a treat in this Winter's Feast! Thank you Klei that was awesome!

[@divaMichellemusic]

The character personality detail where Webber has to pull Walter away from confronting the potential threat because he's so brave (likely due to curiosity) brings me joy I love seeing how the characters interact with each other in these shorts

[@mindykanitz6255]

Woby seems to have some sort of connection with the shadow watchers or, at the very least, that one watcher in particular. Also, I find it funny that Wes trys to hide in an invisible box and kinda cute the way that pig sits down and chows down on popcorn.

[@untournesol3793]

Klei this animated short is amazing, share to your animators and everyone else how much I and many people appreciate them !

I keep noticing music details in these trailers! Were-Wilba's theme plays when the pigman turns into a werepig!

[@Cats-TM]

First time we get to see inside a pig house…smaller than I expected.

[@EgostarClamble]

2:42 "I eat food"

[@John-c1w5s]

Hmm, beaky

[@casualpersonary]

everytime i see these shorts the more i hope there will be an animated series one day.

[@plantimations1232]

I like the visual of wormwood roasting bananas like marshmallows because they’re his favorite

[@FratoiuAlex]

I never understood roasted bananas been his favorite and not the idea plants can't eat plants, but the roasted banana one. Is not like Wolfgang loving potatoes because he is Russian.

[@UnknownUser-ow5zb]

I was half expecting Wurt to sprint out of nowhere and try to kill the pig with her own claws.

[@Maxxatron]

I guess this is why those pigs never invite us into their homes! Probably for the best then since their diet of monster meat like that would also result in were-pigs anyways. Also-- I don't know if it's just Wendy (with the frozen banana) but I think they're all eating something relating to their favorite food after the story. 2:15

[@Derbab_]

At around 2:05 , you can hear Wilba's theme when she transforms into her werepig form! I love the musical references in all the shorts :D It plays at the end too

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

_"All this time and not once have I been invited in."_ - Wanda You know, on second thought, maybe she should count herself fortunate...

Oh man. I know it's been said for years, but Don't Starve shorts (Don't Starve Tales now, perhaps?) could and should easily be a series. I absolutely love it. It concerns me that Woby seems to be shadow-aligned. I guess that means she's a native of the Constant after all, but I suppose time will tell!

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Confirmed Woby will side with Charlie wow also, WALTUH

[@GuyThePerson]

"Waltuh, what da dog doin?" Also, does seeing the shadow watcher mean Woby's mental health has declined? You better give her some jerky RIGHT NOW!
